RECRUITING

First-in-human Study of 225Ac-PSMA-Trillium (BAY 3563254) in Participants With Advanced Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)

Description

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat participants who have metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). mCRPC is a cancer of the prostate (male reproductive gland found below the bladder) that has spread to other parts of the body. This type of prostate cancer does not respond to hormone treatment used to lower the level of testosterone, a male sex hormone, to prevent cancer from growing. The study treatment 225Ac-PSMA-Trillium, also called BAY3563254, is under development to treat advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. It works by binding to PSMA and giving off radiation that can damage cancer cells and stop them from growing. The main purpose of this first-in-human study is to learn: * How safe is BAY3563254 in participants. * What is the recommended dose of BAY3563254 that is safe and works well that will be further tested in Part 2 of the study. * How well does BAY3563254 work in participants. To answer this, the researchers will look at: * The number and severity of medical problems including serious medical problems that participants experience after taking BAY3563254 * The number of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) at each dose level. A DLT is a medical problem caused by a drug that is too severe to continue the use of that specific dose. * The number of participants whose cancer completely disappears (complete response) or reduces by at least 30% (partial response) after taking the treatment (also known as objective response rate (ORR)) * The number of participants who have a decrease in the levels of PSA\* by at least 50% in their blood (also known as PSA50). PSA is a protein made by the prostate gland. High levels of PSA may indicate the presence of prostate cancer. * Participants' best response to treatment based on their PSA levels (also known as the best overall PSA response). The study will have two parts. The first part, called dose escalation, is done to find the most appropriate dose of BAY3563254 for use in the second part of the study. For this, each participant will receive one of different increasing amounts of BAY3563254. They will take BAY3563254 as an injection into a vein. All participants in the second part of the study, called dose expansion, will receive the most appropriate dose of BAY3563254 that was identified from the first part of the study. Participants in this study will take the study treatment once every 6 weeks, which is known as a treatment cycle. Each participant will have up to 4 of these treatment cycles, if the participant benefits from the treatment. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 6 years, including a screening phase of up to 30 days, 6 months of treatment depending on the participant's benefit, and a follow up phase of 60 months after the end of treatment. In addition, substudies performed during both dose escalation and dose expansion parts of the study will evaluate: * the clearance of radioactivity from the body over time * the doses of radiation that are delivered to normal organs and tumors During the study, the doctors and their study team will: * take blood and urine samples * check vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature * examine heart health using electrocardiogram (ECG) * take tumor samples if required * check if the participants' cancer has grown and/or spread using CT (computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and bone scan * check the tumor status using PET (positron emission tomography) * check the amount of radiation absorbed by tumors and normal organs using SPECT/CT (single-photon emission tomography and computed tomography scan) * ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatments. In addition, the participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire on quality of life at certain time points during the study. The treatment period ends with a visit in 6-12 weeks after the last BAY3563254 dose. About 6-12 weeks after the last dose and every 6 weeks thereafter, the study doctors and their team will check the participants' health and any changes in their cancer. This active follow-up period ends after 18 months. The long-term follow-up period will start after the end of the active follow-up visit and will continue for up to 60 months after the the last BAY3563254 dose. Participants will be contacted, typically by phone call or clinic visit, approximately every 12 weeks after the end of active follow-up.

  • * Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL
  • * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1500/mm\^3
  • * Platelet count ≥100,000/mm\^3
  • * Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x the Upper limit of normal (ULN), or ≤3×ULN if the participant has a confirmed history of Gilbert's syndrome (note that participants with Gilbert's syndrome should be carefully evaluated for other liver-related disorders that may impact their suitability for this study).
  • * Alanine transaminase (ALT) and Aspartate transaminase (AST) ˂2.5 x ULN (≤5 x ULN for participants with liver involvement)
  • * Participants on a stable dose of anticoagulation therapy are allowed to participate if they have no sign of bleeding or clotting, and prothrombin time international normalized ratio (PT/INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) test results are acceptable at the Investigator's discretion
  • * Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \>60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2, according to the Modified Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) abbreviated formula and serum creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN
  • * Participants must have at least one PSMA-positive (prostate-specific membrane antigen) distant metastatic lesion on the screening PSMA PET/CT scan using the study-designated PSMA PET tracers, as determined by the site Investigator. For eligibility purposes, a PSMA-positive lesion must have activity greater than the liver by visual assessment of the screening PSMA PET/CT. A PSMA-positive metastatic lesion should not correspond to a normal tissue structure or benign lesion.
  • * Documented progressive mCRPC per PCWG3, and a minimum starting PSA value of 2.0 ng/mL is mandatory. Progressive mCRPC is defined as meeting at least one of the following criteria:

A PSMA-negative lesion for eligibility purposes must have activity equal to or less than the liver by visual assessment of the screening PSMA PET/CT scan using the study-designated PSMA PET/CT tracers. A PSMA-negative metastatic lesion should not correspond to a normal tissue structure or benign lesion.
  • * a. Any single or multiple lymph node(s) ≥2.5 cm in the short axis.
  • * b. Any solid organ metastasis (e.g., lung, liver, adrenal glands, etc.) that is ≥1 cm in the short axis.
  • * c. Any bone metastasis with a soft tissue component ≥ 1 cm in short axis with the soft tissue component being PSMA-negative. PSMA-negative osseous metastases without a soft tissue component do not exclude a participant.
  • * d. Predominantly necrotic lesions with greater than 1 cm of enhancing tissue on contrast-enhanced computed tomography / magnetic resonance imaging (CT/MRI).
  • * Prior systemic anticancer therapy including chemotherapy, NAAD, biologic therapy, immunotherapy, or investigational therapies within 4 weeks of the start of study treatment, except luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) or gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Start of study treatment is allowed in shorter timeframes if 5 half-lives of the prior drug(s) have elapsed.
  • * Prior radiopharmaceutical treatment using actinium-225.
  • * Dose escalation and Dose expansion Groups A and B: Prior treatment with a radiopharmaceutical is prohibited.
  • * Dose expansion Group C: Prior treatment with a radiopharmaceutical is prohibited with the following exceptions: Prior treatment with radium-223 dichloride more than 3 months before the start of study intervention is permitted; and prior treatment with 177 Lu PSMA more than 6 weeks before the start of study intervention is required. Note: Participants who have discontinued 177 Lu-PSMA treatment due to intolerance are excluded from Group C.
  • * Prior definitive therapy (radiotherapy or surgery) completed less than 6 weeks before the start of study intervention. Note that palliative radiotherapy completed less than 6 weeks before the start of study intervention will be allowed if: (i) no more than 10% of the participants' bone marrow is irradiated, (ii) it does not encompass all potential target/measurable lesions for participants in dose expansion.
  • * Toxic effects of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 Grade ≥2 from prior anticancer therapy not yet stabilized or where significant post-treatment toxicities have been observed. Chronic toxic effects of CTCAE Grade ≤2 from prior anticancer therapy where no further resolution is expected do not require exclusion with agreement between the Investigator and Sponsor (e.g., chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, fatigue, alopecia, anorexia, etc.).
